James Rodriguez

Senior Vice President

Los Angeles - Downtown

As an experienced commercial real estate advisor in Southern California with a proven track record, I focus on properties in densely populated multicultural and Hispanic markets.  In particular, I specialize in retail development, redevelopment, strategic planning, and consulting services for owners, retailers, and municipalities.

For several decades, I have been unrivaled throughout my career in selling, leasing, and developing commercial properties in multicultural and Hispanic trade areas throughout the Southwest, with an emphasis on Southern California.  I have assisted numerous regional, national, and international tenants.  While focusing on value creation and representing investors, developers, and municipalities, I have been involved in more than 65 shopping center developments (+6 million SF) and 94 sale assignments  ($572 million).

Over the years, I have developed an impeccable reputation and track record for closing transactions on behalf of private and institutional landlords and tenants and handling the sale of investment properties.  I have also been involved in the sourcing, planning, developing, and marketing of multiple high-profile projects in Southern California.

Before focusing on brokerage services, I served as director of acquisitions and leasing for Comstock, Crosser, and Associates Development Co., a development company based in Manhattan Beach, CA.  There, I was responsible for identifying and acquiring commercial properties for redevelopment, assembling neighborhood development sites, and the retail expansion of Top Valu and Valu + Food Warehouse grocery chains.
